Hi Dick,
Thanks again for the response. I would truly love to see the stone arch cave near Bottineau. I plan to be home in July and would be grateful for any additional information that comes your way.
Thanks,
Colette

Hi Everyone,
It has been ages since I have posted anything. I admit that it has
been very hectic so haven’t been keeping up with the daily blog. I
was prompted by the photo of Gene Bender receiving a gift from our
nursing department and had to comment. The Healthy Heart event was
born out of an idea our nursing students had to “give back”. Our SNO
(STudent Nurse Organization) at Dakota College at Bottineau did a
great job educating the public about the importance of being “heart
healthy”. Funds they raised at earlier events allowed them to present
Gene with a monetary gift to offset his medical bills. It was great
to see him…he is highly thought of on campus and missed very much.
Just a note: We will be having a Richard family reunion this summer
with a few events during the week, culminating in Nancy (Hosmer)
Baldwin and Keith Kontzie’s wedding on July 17. There will be a dance
at the Birchwood that evening open for all to help celebrate their
event….more details will be coming later I am sure. For those of
you relatives interested in attending our little reunion, please email
me for details.
Diane, With the Richard Family reunion coming, I am reposting the Richard family Matrix.
